Science Quiz: Classification Of Resources! - Quiz

Science quiz: classification of resources! Resources are sources that we can derive different benefits from. There are generally two types of resources based on how they are replenished, be it naturally or through other interventions. By taking this quiz, you will need to classify each resource as either renewable or nonrenewable and show what you know about different resources. Give it a try!


Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Renewable, Nonrenewable, or both?

    • A.

      Renewable

    • B.

      Nonrenewable

    • C.

      Both

    Correct Answer
    B. Nonrenewable
    Explanation
    The answer "Nonrenewable" suggests that the given question is asking whether the subject being referred to is nonrenewable.

  • 2. 

    Renewable, Nonrenewable, or both?

    • A.

      Renewable

    • B.

      Nonrenewable

    • C.

      Both

    Correct Answer
    B. Nonrenewable
    Explanation
    The given answer "nonrenewable" suggests that the resource being referred to is not capable of being replenished or replaced within a reasonable amount of time. This implies that the resource is finite and will eventually run out if consumed at a faster rate than it is naturally replenished.

    • D.

      Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Renewable
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Renewable" because the question is asking whether the given options are renewable, nonrenewable, or both. Since the answer is "Renewable," it means that the options provided are all renewable resources.

    How long does it take for fossil fuels to form?

    • A.

      Hundreds of years

    • B.

      Thousands of years

    • C.

      Millions of years

    • D.

      Billions of years

    Correct Answer
    C. Millions of years
    Explanation
    Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Over time, these organic materials were subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing them to undergo chemical changes and transform into fossil fuels. This process of fossilization takes millions of years, as the organic matter needs to be buried deep underground and undergo geological processes to become fossil fuels. Therefore, the correct answer is millions of years.

  • 6. 

    Which of the following is a way we can protect our natural resources?

    • A.

      With sustainable use

    • B.

      Using them faster than they can be replaced

    • C.

      Using fertilizers to make trees grow faster

    • D.

      Applying pesticides to keep bugs from destroying crops

    Correct Answer
    A. With sustainable use
    Explanation
    Using natural resources with sustainable use means utilizing them in a way that does not deplete or harm them, allowing them to replenish and regenerate naturally. This approach ensures the long-term availability of resources and minimizes negative impacts on the environment. It involves practices such as conservation, responsible harvesting, and implementing renewable alternatives. By adopting sustainable use, we can protect our natural resources for future generations and maintain ecological balance.

    Fossil fuels are...

    • A.

      Renewable

    • B.

      Nonrenewable

    • C.

      Both

    Correct Answer
    B. Nonrenewable
    Explanation
    Fossil fuels are nonrenewable because they are formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. These resources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, take millions of years to form and cannot be replenished within a human lifespan. Once these resources are depleted, they cannot be easily replaced, making them nonrenewable.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which natural resource is used to make plastics and rubber?

    • A.

      Coal

    • B.

      Trees

    • C.

      Oil

    • D.

      Corn

    Correct Answer
    C. Oil
    Explanation
    Oil is the correct answer because it is a natural resource that is used to make plastics and rubber. Oil is processed to produce various petrochemicals, which are then used as raw materials in the production of plastics and rubber. These petrochemicals are transformed into polymers, which form the basis of plastic and rubber products. Oil is a widely used resource in the manufacturing industry due to its versatility and ability to be molded into different forms.
